They always morph


A book I enjoyed and one that gets little attention is "One Hell of a Ride, The Life and Times of Lou Federico..............He has seen most of the seamy side of Baja and survived it. The book covers a lot of time outside of Baja and is full of bombastic adventures but when he gets to Baja he tells it like it still is behind the scenes.......I got a kick out of it In another life he probably would have been a Italian Don.

He built the Hotel Punta Chivato and before that the Hotel Rancho Loma LInda, 1961, in Mulege.

I just picked it up and started reading it again so I gotta go.

Oh! Yeah! He is older than me......and I like that every once in a while...........I miss Neal Johns because when he was posting he was my senior and a very knowledgeable Baja guy.
